Gerig from Sandhill

Tania · April 12, 2010

Dear T-villians,

Did anybody grow Gerig tomato from Sandhill seeds?

According to SSE members, it should be a potato leaf variety, but I received seeds from a T-ville member that were original Sandhill seeds, and the only seedling I manage to germinate appears to be RL.

Sandhill website does not say anything about Gerig leaf type, so I am wondering what other folks get from Sandhill seeds, RL or PL?

Thanks,
Tania

This description (not Sandhill) says regular leaf:

Hmmm... very interesting - thank you for the link!

Do we have both PL and RL versions of Gerig out there???

The interesting thing is that Neil Lockhart, who lists this variety in the SSE Yearbook as a potato leaf, got the seed from Glenn Drowns (Sandhill), who also lists it but not saying anything about the leaf type - neither in the SSE Yearbook nor at Sandhill website.

So the question remains about which leaf type of Gerig is sold by Sandhill.

Vent Marin mentions it, but also without noting leaf type.
